[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9738379, member: 2844"]Lovely, [USER=9989]@NaptownFTW[/USER] , thank you for showing us.:) The rings are from Yemen!:happy: The second one is unusual, with those bell dangles. The stones on both are very shiny, so they are probably not very old. Are you sure the stone on the first one is coral, not coral glass? They used glass tile beads sometimes, because the colour is more important than the stone. The bracelets are also from the Middle East, but a more generic style. Nice Knifewing brooch. Older NA jewellery is often not marked, but there is something odd about this one. The verdigris is unusual, but that could be due to contamination from another piece. But it also looks like the silver is cast, which would be highly unusual. Maybe I'm just not seeing it right.[/QUOTE]
